sCOTCH-IRISH.
To Harpetl

To Harpeth:
In your article in the Review and
Journal, which l read in the American,
you say SO many things that are true,
correct in history, and upon which all
ante-bellum Tennesseans may think
with pride, pleasure and profit, that
your only mistake ought not to 80 un-
corrected.
"The Scotch Irish were the very
flower of the Anglo-Saxon race. !"
There was not one drop of Anglo-Saxon
blood in the veins of that vanguard to
which you refer, afterwards the rear
guard OF the revolution and the origi-
nal settlers OF Tennessee. They were
Celts-Scotchmen, Welchmen-a little
of the blood, but much of the climate
of the North Of Ireland-Irishmen.
This is the correct definition OF Scotch
Irish in blood.
In religious creed, John Knox-Pres-
byterian-Covenanters. The settlers OF
Massachusetts were Anglo-Saxon in
blood and Puritan Independents in
religious creed. With them the con-
gregation (the state) was the visible
Church of God. With these Scotch
Irish Presbyterians-believers repre-
senting families, the family itself was a
constituent OF the Church OF God. The
antagonism of these two bloods and
creeds was not more clearly defined in
peace and in war before their emanci-
patton, than it has been from the be-
ginning in this country, was during our
civil war, and is to-day. The one is
ever for the people-the family, the
other for the state-the center. These
two bloods and creeds divide to-day in
our General Assembly. The lone"
will vote for textbooks by the state,
the other will refer that and everything
else to the family, as much as possible.
These Scotch-IrIsh will ever say what
the family can do the school directors
of district shall not do, what school
directors can do the county court shall
not do, what the county can do the
state shall not, and what the state can
do the central power at Washington
shall not do.
DO you not call to mind the, to Ten
nesseans, strange sight of men (pockets
filled with Peabody gold) going up and
down crying "the children belong to
the {congregative) state" With these
Tennesseans the children had belonged
to the family.
In 1860 the census of the United
States showed that in schools, in every
element of christian civilization, Ten
nessee was ahead of Massachusetts, oI
any other state OF this Union.

Tenn, School Master.

Grabbed by the Adams Express.

CINCINNATI, March 1.-The Adam:
Express Company this morning ex.
tended its service over the entire sys-
tenn OF the Ohio & Mississippi Railway,
amounting to upwards of 600 miles ol
line, on which there are about 12i

Mississippi began to carry its own ex-
press goods, and subsequently con-
tracted with the Baltimore & Ohio

occupation of the line by the Adams

a surprise.

God Save All Here"

There is prayer that's breathed alone
In dear old Erin's land;
'Tis uttered on the threshold stone
With smile and clasping hand;
And oft, perchance, It's murmured low,
With sigh and falling tear,
The grandest meeting man may know
The prayer, "0od save all hereW
In other lands they know not well
How priceless is the lore,
That hedges with sacred spell
Old lreland's cabin door:
To those IL is no empty sound
Who think with many tear
OF flong-loved memories wreathing round
The prayer, "God save all hereW
Live on, o prayer, in Ireland still
sTo bless each threshold free,
The echoes of her homes TO I'LL
With sacred fervency
And guarding by his holy spell
The soul and conscience clear,
Be craven on each heart as well
The prayer, "God save ali here "--Ex.

to the coast has not been the Chicago tariff
Some flour has gone over the same road and,
going over that road, has not been counted in
Chicago's receipts and shipments The Chi
cago man is unique type. Push and buster
lead in his makeup. In some way he's picked
up an idea that what there is between Lake
Michigan and the Sierra Neyada's exists
only by his sufference. The excuse that
alone is accepted by him in Justification for
occupying spot OF this presumption right of
his, is that tribute will be paid him. Some
how he has come to understand that Mime
sofa has melted a channel through Lake
Superior that it is possible to work little
flour and coal through during the dog days.
That has made chillS chase each other up and
down his spinal column ever since Proctor
Knots buffalos hauled in the first cargo to
the unsalted sea- Still later the 500 pro-
Ject has narrowed up fresh visions of the
disIoyalty Of his subjects, and now that the
coast is reachedfrom the Northwest by walk
ing around him on the Southwest, he's all
broke up. For month or more he has
sniveled over it daily. Whenever he gets a
real bad spell of boo-hooing he ends up by
wiping his nose on the Chicago Tribune,
which spreads the evidences of his grief in
loaded editorials. In these paroxysms what
ever happens to be most conspicuous within
range is gnawed by it. The object may be
anything from an ESquimaux dog team haul
ing dried venison over frozen lakes to a trans
continental railroad. If anybody has cheap

CHICAGO, Jan. 2T.-The freight agents OF
the Iowa, Minnesota and Dakota roads me,
to-day with view Of establishing differential
lumber rates to points throughout their ter
ritory, but adjourned without taking any
action. An intimation was received that the
general managers would hold a meeting at an
early date to consider the Interstate com.
merce law and fix uniform rates under the
bill, which would make it time
wasted to go on with the present work.
AT meeting of the ticket agents and
rate clerks of roads between Buffalo and Chi
cago and ST. Louis. held here to-day. it was
agreed TO abrogate all second-class rates west
of the state of Ohio. That state is exempted
because of the large traffic of the Lake Shore
road in carrying sailors to and from ports,
and because of the local competition from
Cincinnati to St. Louis. To-day at an ad-
journed meeting of the freight agents of the
Western roads the Burlington & Northern SUBJ
United list of shippers passes issued since
Jan. l. The Minneapolis s. St. Louis also
promised tC do the same. This leaves only
the Minnesota s. Northwestern outside the
agreement, and the officials say its capacity
to disturb rates is limited, and that it can
do but little damage. Messrs. Faithorn,
Midgley and Carman, the board of control,
were instructed to construe the agreement
and settle any disputes that may arise.

Wonders OF Elactricirv.

The lecture of Vernon Bell before the D1e-
chanics institute on cleo trical generators,
last evening, was not largely attended, but
was interesting in the extreme. The speaker
gave complete and detailed account of the
disc overy and perfection of galvanic bat
teries and generators, and by illustra tons
made his theory clearly apparent to his audi
ence. Every molecule, he said was nat
ural magnet and was always in motion. In
order to show this clearly to the audience.
Mr. Bell produced a glass tube filled with
iron filings, and piece of common gas pipe.
By tapping lightly on the gas pipe with q
small hammer, he changed the positive and
negative currents at will, and by tapping it
in the cener set the molecules at rest, max
ing the pipe perfectly neutral. The infiu-
ence of the earth's magnetism was uslrated
with the glass tube filled with coarse iron
filings. This he presented to the needle, and
it refused to move. Taking the tube by one
end and pointing the other end toward the
north pole, he set the molecules IN motion by
Sigh tap of a pencil. Then the tube was
presented to the needle, which was attracted
or repealed, according to the manner in
which the tube was held. A number of ques-
tons touching upon electricity and magnet
ism were answered by Mr.. Bell.

fully. Unknown to Mr.. Brearley they
made their arrangements and quietly
captured the gentleman'S home while he was

half OF the company, presented the captain
an elegant secretary and library case, with
number of choice books. In his speech Mr.
Mcmillan referred to the captains record as
soldier, his efficiency as assistant master

standing as a citizen, and the maniness that
had won for him devoted friends. Capt

DR.. NJ. p. Finnegan-As q general rule, in
all cases of public appointments, the ap-
pointees are slaves and the appointers are
tyrants
John Lamb-Talking of these city boards,
unless ample authority is given them they
are worse than useless, and if it is given them
they are corrupt.
J. P. McGaughey The statement that
Donnelly has been powerful in the legsla-
ture by his return to the Republican party is
all bosh. The simple fact is that he has u
monopoly of brains in the house of delegates
It's Il clear case of knowledge being power.
Clarence II. Wells, the Rio brake man-The
secret OF the persecution of me is found in the
fact that Conductor Hankey is a near relative
OF one Of the high officials of the Milwaukee
road.
Joseph Jepson-I am going to find out and
let everybody know why, if that niger that
bit me was indicted, he has not been ar
raigned. think / will lay the whole matter
before Judge Young.
George X. Shaw-A man in Michigan-a
Democrat-who heard of my reputation as q
newspaper man, wanted to go in with me and
start an evening paper in Minneapolis.
Col. w. S. King-Tbe King-Remington suit
IS ended. 1t isn't all settled up but settle
ment has been made, and the whole thing
will be finished as soon as the routine work
can be gone through with. By the terms of
the settlement the title to every piece of the
property which was in controversy, is per-
fectly good, and the owner is protected. II
any one has sold property because they feared
that the title was not good, they were very
unwse. By the terms of the settlement re-
ceive very little of the real property. The
accounting is made in money and other prop
erty which was not concerned in the case l
simply agree to withdraw the suit and that
quiets all titles, so there will be no further
trouble on that account.

wards. The only circumstance that would
warrant change would be the admission of
new territory and then only the adjacent
wards should be changed.

knights and Interstate Commerce.

Speaking CT the attitude of the Knights OF
Labor to the interstate commerce bill. J, P.
McGaughey said last night said; II don
know what truth there is in the dispatch that
the committee on legislation has asked Presi-
dent Cleveland to veto the bill So far as
know the order has taken no position on the
bill, but the committee headed by Ralph
Beaumont has been on the ground all the time
and Is thoroughly posted The trou BILE about
legislation of this kind is Rthat it is filed with
duplicity. When the Foran bill was pending
it was opposed by good men and l couldn't
understand it, and when the bill passed and
the Importation of contract labor was pro-
hibited, why contractors went over and
shipped in the pauper labor of Europe and
contracted it afterward.''
